fireworks

The Victoria Day weekend is coming up in Ontario. It’s the first of two holidays (the other being July 1st) that is celebrated with fireworks. These trailers start showing up in shopping mall parking lots a week before each holiday. When I was young, everyone had their own displays featuring Catherine Wheels, Roman Candles, a Burning Schoolhouse, sparklers… You must be over 18 to buy fireworks and there are no more street parties, but you can still hear the noise from a few backyards. Mostly, people head out to the parks to see the big displays.

I wouldn’t want to drive one of those trailers! Yes, the back yard fireworks will be starting very soon here, too, with the Memorial Day holiday coming up and then Independence Day. In our neighborhood, people shoot them off in the back yards almost every weekend, and at all hours of the night. Very frustrating.
